ASHER  BROWN   DURAND. 

IT  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the  nineteenth 
century  has  seen  the  decadence  of  the  engrav- 
er's art,  and  that  with  its  close  the  work  of  the 
burin  will  virtually  have  been  relegated  to  the 
domain  of  the  "lost  arts."  This  is  a  mourn- 
ful reflection  for  those  admirers  of  the  graver 
who  call  to  mind,  passing  in  review,  the  superb 
works  of  such  masters  as  Goltzius,  Visscher, 
Bolswert,  Drevet,  Wille,  Bervic,  Morghen,  Longhi, 
Toschi,  Strange,  Sharp  and  Durand.  It  is  to 
the  last  of  these  illustrious  names  that  we  pay 
particular  homage  at  this  time  and  it  is  meet  that 
this  association  should  do  so,  as  Asher  Brown 
Durand  is  the  only  American  engraver  entitled  to 
take  his  place  and  hold  his  rank  with  the  famous 
ones  mentioned. 

Mr.  Durand  was  of  French  Huguenot  extraction. 
He  was  bom  in  Jefferson  Village,  now  called  Ma- 
plewood,  Essex  County,  New  Jersey,  August  21st, 
1796,  and  death  found  him  ninety  years  afterward, 
September  17th,  1886,  on  the  land  where  he  was 
born.  His  father  was  a  mechanical  genius  with 
some  ability  at  crude  engraving,  such  as  was  in 


4  INTRODUCTION 

vogue  for  adorning  metal  work  during  the  first 
quarter  of  the  century,  and  from  him  the  son  early 
imbibed  a  taste  for  the  use  of  the  tool  which  he 
was  destined  to  employ  with  so  much  skill  and  suc- 
cess. 

Shortly  after  entering  his  seventeenth  year  Mr. 
Durand  was  apprenticed  to  Peter  Maverick,  a  well- 
known  letter-engraver  of  New  York,  to  learn  all  the 
branches  of  the  engraver's  art,  and  the  first  work  en- 
trusted to  him  was  the  lettering  of  a  title-page  for  the 
"  Pilgrim's  Progress."  The  pupil  soon  outstripped 
the  master,  and  when  his  apprenticeship  ended, 
in  1817,  he  became  his  master's  partner.  During 
the  three  years  of  the  partnership  all  the  important 
work  of  the  firm  was  done  by  the  junior  partner, 
and  several  specimens  of  Mr.  Durand's  engraving 
at  this  period,  as  also  of  his  apprentice  work,  will 
be  found  in  the  present  collection.  There  will  be 
noticed  also  shop  cards  and  ball  tickets  and  diplo- 
mas, which  show  that  he  was  not  above  following 
in  the  footsteps  of  Hogarth,  Strange,  Sharp  and 
others  in  doing  whatever,  in  those  early  days,  came 
to  his  hand  to  do. 

His  first  original  work,  engraved  direct  from 
the  painting,  was  "  Old  Pat "  (No.  144),  from  a  pic- 
ture by  S.  L.  Waldo,  now  belonging  to  the  Boston 
Athenaeum,  Its  excellence  brought  the  engraver 
to  the  notice  of  Colonel  Trumbull,  who  employed 
him,  when  only  twenty-four  years  old,  to  engrave 
the  large  plate  from  his  painting  representing  the 
moment  when  the  committee  that  drew  up  the 


INTRODUCTION  5 

Declaration  of  Independence  advanced  to  the  table 
to  present  the  report  to  the  President.  This  elabo- 
rate plate  (No.  234),  for  which  Mr.  Durand  was  paid 
$3,000,  occupied  him  more  than  three  years,  and, 
when  published,  at  once  established  the  engraver's 
reputation.  It  was  not  only  the  first  important  plate 
and  the  largest  yet  produced  in  this  country,  but  it 
was  also  a  remarkable  production  for  so  young  a 
man  with  so  little  experience.  It  is  worthy  of  note, 
in  this  connection,  that  there  was  no  printer  in  this 
country  at  that  time  able  to  print  the  plate,  and  a 
competent  plate  printer  had  to  be  imported  from 
England  for  the  purpose.  Fortunately,  in  those 
days  we  were  too  wise  to  enact  alien  labor  laws. 

At  this  period  engravers  seem  to  have  been  the 
most  profitably  employed  of  our  artists,  if  not  in  the 
execution  of  works  of  high  art,  at  least  in  the  per- 
petuation of  portraits  of  individuals  of  greater  or  less 
importance,  some  local  and  others  national.  The 
large  number  of  clergymen  whose  portraits  were 
engraved  by  Mr.  Durand  show  the  religious  ele- 
ment strongly  working  in  our  midst.  Among  them 
those  of  Alexander  McLeod  (No.  61)  and  the  elo- 
quent John  M.  Mason  (No.  66)  are  fine  examples 
of  the  engraver's  art,  the  latter  comparing  favor- 
ably with  Sharp's  Thomas  Walker,  considered  one 
of  the  Englishman's  great  accomplishments  in 
portraiture. 

While  this  is  true  of  these  early  productions, 
they  were  mere  heralds  of  what  was  to  come.  It 
is  both  interesting  and  instructive  to  follow  and 


6  INTRODUCTION 

observe  the  steady  and  continued  advancement  of 
Mr.  Durand,  in  the  progression  of  his  work,  during 
the  eighteen  years  he  labored  at  it,  which  show  how 
carefully  he  studied  the  works  of  his  great  prede- 
cessors, in  the  field  he  had  chosen  for  his  own. 
Bervic's  Louis  XVI.,  Morghen's  Moncado,  com- 
monly called  the  White-horse,  Strange's  Charles  I., 
in  his  robes,  and  Titian's  Venus,  Sharp's  John  Hun- 
ter and  Doctors  of  the  Church,  were  a  few  of  his 
constant  companions  and  guides.  He  was  one  of 
those  thorough,  conscientious  workers  who  believe 
that  whatever  is  worth  doing  is  worth  doing  well ; 
and  therefor  he  was  ever  striving  onward,  upward  ; 
and  if  in  his  own  modest  opinion  he  did  not  attain 
the  highest  perfection  of  his  art,  in  the  opinion  of 
others,  more  competent  to  judge  than  a  man  in  his 
own  case,  he  fully  reached  the  pinnacle,  when  the 
Ariadne  came  from  his  hand.  It  was  his  valedic- 
tory to  the  burin,  which  he  then  forsook  for  canvas 
and  color,  and  is  as  fine  an  example  of  line  engrav- 
ing as  this  century  has  produced. 

It  is  by  no  means  disparaging  to  Mr.  Durand  to 
say  that  his  fame  as  an  engraver  overshadows  his 
reputation  as  a  painter,  and  doubtless  will  not  only 
so  continue,  but  will  become  more  strongly  accen- 
tuated by  time.  The  reason  for  this  is  not  difficult 
to  find.  As  an  engraver  Asher  Brown  Durand  is 
facile  princeps  among  his  countrymen  and  quite 
the  peer  of  any  of  his  European  contemporaries ; 
while  his  most  earnest  admirers  will  not  claim  this 
exalted   place  for  him   among  the  painters  of  this 


INTRODUCTION  7 

land.  Nor  in  saying  this  are  we  saying  as  little  as 
some  may  esteem.  It  is  true  that  this  country  has 
not  produced  many  engravers  who  have  advanced 
beyond  the  mere  mechanical  dexterity  of  their 
craft.  But  it  is  no  insignificant  position,  as 
long  as  we  can  point  to  Edwin,  the  American 
Bartolozzi  in  method  though  vastly  superior  in 
manner,  for  I  have  yet  to  see  anything  by  the 
Italian-Englishman  equal  to  Edwin's  best  heads 
after  Stuart;  to  John  Cheney,  whose  exquisitely 
delicate  plates  for  the  Gifts  and  Souvenirs  of  our 
fathers  were  valued  then,  but  are  even  more  highly 
prized  now  and  have  been  likened,  by  a  most  com- 
petent critic,  to  beautiful  sonnets ;  to  Burt,  lately 
deceased  ;  and  to  Schoff,  still  among  us,  but  using 
the  needle  in  place  of  the  graver. 

The  high  estimation  in  which  Mr.  Durand  was 
held  by  his  contemporaries  as  a  man  and  as  an 
artist,  at  a  time  when  he  was  known  only  as  an 
engraver,  was  shown  on  November  8th,  1825,  when 
at  a  meeting  held  in  the  rooms  of  the  New  York 
Historical  Society,  to  consider  the  formation  of  a 
society  for  improvement  in  drawing,  which  resulted 
in  the  foundation  of  the  National  Academy  of 
Design,  he  was  the  unanimous  choice  of  his  brother 
artists  to  preside  over  their  deliberations.  And  it 
is  because  Mr.  Durand  was  such  a  thorough  artist 
and  such  an  exceptionally  skillful  draughtsman,  that 
he  became  so  eminent  an  engraver. 

Look  at  the  delicate  treatment  shown  in  the  por- 
trait of  the  old,  old  man,  Charles  Carroll  of  Car- 


8  INTRODUCTION 

rollton  (No.  i8),  so  beautifully  tender  that  when 
it  was  exhibited  on  the  other  side  of  Ocean,  the 
quidnuncs  there  would  not  believe  it  had  been  ex- 
ecuted on  this  side. 

Observe  the  masterly  strength  in  the  patrician 
head  of  the  artist  John  Trumbull  (No.  107),  and 
point  to  any  head,  by  any  engraver  of  any  time, 
superior  to  it  in  all  the  qualities  that  go  to  make  a 
great  print.  As  has  been  said  of  Morghen's  Mon- 
cado,  after  Van  Dyke,  "  if  either  painting  or  en- 
graving had  to  disappear,  it  would  be  better  in  the 
interests  of  art  to  lose  the  former  " ;  so  can  be  said 
of  this  head  of  Trumbull  with  even  greater  reason  J 
for  during  the  progress  of  the  plate  the  venerable 
subject  gave  the  engraver  several  sittings,  with  the 
result  that  the  print  is  virtually  an  original  portrait 
and  far  better  than  the  painting.  I  have  no  hesita- 
tion in  naming  this  plate  as  Mr.  Durand's  best 
work,  and  his  reputation,  or  the  reputation  of  any 
engraver,  could  safely  rest  upon  it.  In  the  eyes  of 
some  its  size  may  render  it  too  insignificant  for 
such  high  commendation,  but  those  persons  need 
only  to  be  reminded  of  the  masterly  miniatures  by 
Malbone,  and  Cosway,  and  Humphreys,  to  see  the 
error  of  their  view. 

Mr.  Durand  was  the  pioneer  in  artistic  bank-note 
work,  and  from  1824  to  1832,  was  largely  occupied 
in  designing  and  engraving  vignettes,  which  were  of 
a  character  and  style  so  new  in  this  department  of 
art,  as  to  give  it  an  impetus  which  it  has  never  since 
lost.      The    beauty   of    his   designs  and  skill    in 


INTRODUCTION  9 

handling  them  appropriately  may  be  seen  in 
many  proof  specimens  exhibited. 

The  most  noted  achievements  of  Mr.  Durand's 
burin  are  his  two  plates  of  the  nude — Musidora 
(No.  236),  after  his  own  design,  published  in  1825. 
and  the  Ariadne  (No.  237),  after  Vanderlyn's  mas- 
terpiece, published  a  decade  later — in  both  of  which 
the  rendering  of  the  flesh  is  particularly  successful. 
There  was  not  only  a  daring  boldness  in  essaying 
such  works  at  that  time,  when  the  community  hid 
its  face  from  the  delineation  of  the  human  figure, 
but  there  was  a  nobility  of  purpose,  that  carried 
the  artist  successfully  through  to  their  completion, 
that  must  win  our  admiration.  I  regret  that  space 
does  not  permit  a  more  thorough  consideration 
of  these  beautiful  prints,  which  are  sure  to  be 
appreciated  by  every  lover  of  the  refined  and  pure 
and  chaste  in  art.  These  noble  qualities  are  due, 
in  the  Musidora,  wholly  to  Mr.  Durand's  elevated 
taste,  as  he  was  both  designer  and  engraver,  while 
in  the  Ariadne  he  has  charmingly  preserved  these 
characteristics,  in  the  finest  nude  figure  yet  painted 
by  an  American  artist. 

Mr.  Durand's  engraved  work  is  all  done  in  pure 
line  and  is  marked  throughout  by  fine  artistic  feel- 
ing. His  only  deviation  from  this  method  was  when 
he  attempted  a  portrait  in  mezzotinto  of  his  friend, 
Sylvester  Graham,  which  was  never  completed,  and 
is  the  only  plate  left  by  him  unfinished.  With  the 
exception  of  this  plate  the  present  exhibition, 
composed  chiefly  of  the  engraver's  reserved  proofs. 


lO  INTRODUCTION 

contains,  as  far  as  known,  an  impression  from 
every  plate  he  engraved,  and,  in  many  instances, 
the  progress  of  the  work  can  be  traced  through 
its  successive  stages.  This  is  notably  the 
case  with  the  Ariadne,  where  nine  states  are 
shown,  from  the  etching  to  the  finished  print. 
The  catalogue,  however,  is  not  a  perfect  "  Cata- 
logue Raisonn6,"  for  only  the  exhibited  states  arc 
included. 

Mr.  Durand  did  some  work  on  two  plates  which 
are  not  exhibited  here.  Thrice,  after  he  had  relin- 
quished the  use  of  the  burin  was  he  induced  to  take 
it  up  again  on  behalf  of  struggling  brethren.  For 
Schoff's  fine  print  of  Caius  Marius  on  the  ruins  of 
Carthage,  after  Vanderlyn's  Napoleon  medal  pic- 
ture, Mr.  Durand  engraved  the  head ;  he  also  did 
the  final  work  on  the  principal  heads  in  Burt's 
careful  copy  of  Morghen's  "  Last  Supper,"  which 
bears  the  name  of  A.  L.  Dick,  who  did  not  do  a  line 
of  the  engraving,  being  only  the  pubhsher.  The  last 
time  Mr.  Durand  employed  the  graver  upon  a  plate, 
was  when  he  gave  the  finishing  touches  to  the  por- 
trait, after  his  own  painting,  of  his  life-long  friend, 
the  poet  Bryant,  published  by  "  The  Century,"  in 
1858  (No.  15).  This  interesting  plate  was  bitten  in 
by  Burt,  filled  in  by  Schoff,  completed  by  Alfred 
Jones  to  the  proof  before  letter  state,  and  finished 
by  Durand,  who  gave  it  the  refinement  and  feeling 
found  in  the  fettered  impressions. 

It  seems  almost  superfluous  even  to  mention  Mr. 
Durand  as  a  painter,  so  well  known  is  he  as  the 


INTRODUCTION  II 

founder  of  the  American  school  of  open-air  land- 
scapists,  he  being  the  first  of  our  artists  to  paint  di- 
rect from  nature.  Before  he  was  inspired  by  Cole 
to  transfer  to  canvas  the  meadows  and  the  woods, 
he  was  distinguished  as  a  leader  among  the  Amer- 
ican genre  painters  who,  like  Inman,  Edmonds, 
Mount  and  others,  without  foreign  influence,  found 
at  home  good  subjects  to  employ  their  pencils,  which 
they  rendered  with  great  ability,  and  in  a  manner 
free  and  untrammeled  as  the  air  they  breathed. 
All  who  wish  to  follow  Mr.  Durand's  art  career 
will  find  it  delightfully  portrayed,  by  his  son,  in  a 
sumptuous  volume  recently  issued,  entitled  "  Life 
and  Times  of  Asher  Brown  Durand,  by  John 
Durand,"  to  which  this  exhibition  catalogue  is  a 
fitting  complement.
